35. Mother

Jungkook

Dawson City

Walking next to the lady who saved my life before, I follow wherever she wanted to go. Said she travels a lot to move to one city to another just because her mother is careless about her well being. And she's cruel enough to sold her own daughter to a brothel and then gets the benefit from her work.

Yet, she still wanted to see her mother.

We both stand at her apartment that she left six months ago. She waits and stare up to the second floor. Directly to her mother's flat and balcony. I hold her hand and glance at her, she still gave the serious expression. Those brows almost collide together and the anger and pity can be seen from the stare of her eyes.

"Should we go inside?" I ask and she looked at me.

"No."

"But we've been stand here for hour now,"

"Someone will caught us." She look back at the spot she's been staring at.

"You missed her?"

"No. I just, wondering if she still alive. I could smell blood but not hers. She probably move out, but I can sense that she's here. Just, not in the same flat." She decided to walked into the building.

"Let's go."

Going back to Dawson for me is kind of walking in a thin line of a past. The way I left this place after the personal attacks consider to save my self. My kind never giving a chance to human a second chances. If they die that's their fate. But I stand to save her. She changed the whole perspective of having bonding with human, besides that they are only our food. When love approach, it will changed everything.

"Darla?"

Someone from behind us shout the name that feel strange to my ears. But she stopped when we're about to climb the stairs. A middle aged woman stands at the end of the stairs. She climb down towards her.

"Aunt Tina."

She was her landlord. Why did she called her Darla?

They hug, she grab her first and she awkwardly place her arms around her. I can hear how loudly she struggle with her scent.

"Where were you? Your mother says that you were running away with your boyfriend that night, leaving her in agony, she try to look for you, she hasn't eaten all day and she barely lost hope." She said and about to cry. Y/n caress her shoulder to calm her a little.

What the hell her mother told to the neighbors? Her daughter is almost died in that dark alley. And she turn the story upside down.

"Thank God now you're okay, you've returned. She thought you were dead, she can't sleep in her own house because it remind her of you." She continues.

"Aunt Tina, I-"

"It's okay, baby, your mother stay with me now."

I can read her expression once again showing the shock.

"Since when?"

"Since you left. I know it's a lot to take but I asked her to stay with me. You know, I feel sorry for her that she cried everyday, sometimes her friends come to visit her just to cheer her up, your mother, has a lot of friends here, for a new comer she's quite famous." She smile, wiping her tears finally settle down with her rush emotion to see Y/n again. I know that she's just playing her role to get people's sympathy. Her mother.

"Where's my mother now? I'm here to see her."

"Sure. Come I'll take you." She held her hand and lead us upstairs. They walk first, as they pass by, I glance at Y/n who were smirking at me. Told me to follow them.
